A future Lynton and Barnstaple Railway could own some horses and a few Land Rovers too.

Mother Nature would say: Yes, do this , I don”t mind a bit of smoke, it’ll be a stab in the right direction of not concreting me over . As long as you reduce your car use and CHANGE YOURSELF MAN, NOT TRY TO CHANGE ME, I won’t inflict Coronavirus upon you.....
Is it possible to make a comparison between the main road to Buxton ( current speed limit 50 mph) and the apparent speed limit on the A39?( 60 mph)? Not much logic applicable. On the former route, I seem to need a special gear, not 4th nor 5th but somewhere in between! The speed limit is an unprintable adjective/ noun. We then consider how poor the A39 really is and how no motorway crosses Devon nor is likely to. Dual carriageway yes but that is about as far as things go. Not much chance of seeing the A39 being dualled , is there?Floreat vapor! Alistair

I love when old railways are reopened maybe one day it will be fully reopened.
That's what we are hoping we will be able to do.
